SAMUEL J'AFFE AND SAMUEL KANNER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

HAT

Application led May 22,

To all whom it may concer/n:

Be it known that we, SAMUEL JAFFE and SAMUEL KANNER, citizens of the United States, and residents of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Hat Pad, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hat cushioning devices, and more particularly to improve ments therein, and has for its object to provide means specially adapted for hats used by ladies with bobbed hair. It has been found that ladies hats so used do not adhere properly to the heads of the wearers and the improved device serves to overcome such objection and difficulty.

The invention will be more fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective View of our improved device;

Figure 2 is a plan view of our device arranged in another position;

Figure 3 is a rear view;

Figure 4 shows the device applied to a hat; and

Figure 5 is a section taken on line 55 of Fig. 4.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the various figures.

Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to Fig. 4, the outline of a hat is indicated by the dotted lines 10, and may be of circular or head shape.

The pad is applied at the rear of the hat by means of prongs connected with the pad and inserted into the hat band whereby the pad is clearly held in position and a soft cushion is provided, adapted to rest on the head of the wearer.

The pad as shown in Figure 5 consists of a stiffening member 14 having a covering 15, enclosing any suitable cushioning material indicated by 16. The pad is made elongated in shape as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and tapering towards the ends 16 and 17. The covering is made of any suitable material such as silk, muslin, Sateen, or the like, to give a suitable and pleasing appearance.

PAD.

1923. Serial No. 640,679.

The covering is connected at its margins with a backing 18, by a line of stitching 19. so as to hold within the covering all the cushioning indicated by 16.

To the back of the stiffening member is arranged an attaching metallic member 20, from which is pressed up prongs 12 which as before described enter into the hat band. The member 20 is secured to the back 18 of the stiening member 14 by means of a line of stitches 21. Instead of having the prongs 12, pressed up integrally from the metallic member 20, such prongs may be arranged on the metallic member in any other suitable manner, and instead of having the stitches 21, the metallic member 20 may be secured in any other way to the cushioning member.

The pad described is about 4 or 5 inches in length and about J5 an inch to i of an inch in depth and about an inch in thickness or of any suitable size, and may be readily manufactured and when so manufactured it may be readily applied to a hat by simply inserting the prongs into the hat band. When so applied, the wearer may adjust the device to the proper position and it serves as a rest for the hat upon the head, thereby properly holding the hat in position.

In Fig. 3 the lower part is shown convex, but when applied to a hat it may be suitably adjusted and then in some instances, it will show as in Fig. 5.

We described an embodiment of our invention, but changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the same as defined in the appended claims.

We claim as new:

1. A hat pad consisting of a stiening member decreasing in width from its central portion to its ends, a backing for the stiening member, a metallic securing band attached to said stifening member, a body of yielding filling material vertical on one side 'and curved on its opposite side, in cross section, bearing against said stiiening member, and a yielding covering enclosing said filling material and secured at its margin to said stiiening member.
